Can you "buffalo" anything? Some say yes, and they're putting spicy, vinegary sauce on all kinds of things that aren't chicken wings. Here are 11 frankenfoods that people are making with buffalo sauce.

Buffalo cauliflower. A go-to buffalo chicken wing substitute for vegans and vegetarians, buffalo cauliflower uses a similar formula for spicy snack-ability as their carnivorous cousin- bread it, bake it and toss in buffalo sauce.

Buffalo cornbread. When chili is just not spicy enough, cornbread can pick up the slack. Adding a little buffalo sauce to cornbread batter gives chili’s best friend extra punch.

Buffalo superfoods. Snacking + football typically means unhealthy, heavy food. To ease that Monday morning guilt, buffalo quinoa bites or crunchy buffalo kale chips have been added to the buffalo recipe roster. At least they pack some nutrition into the tailgating spread.

Buffalo squash cakes. It’s football season. The farmers’ markets are exploding with squash. Adding a teaspoon of buffalo sauce to grated squash and a few other ingredients makes for a seasonal and football-friendly snack.

Buffalo popcorn. This popcorn preparation keeps the popcorn crisp after drizzling with butter and hot sauce. Spicy, tangy and crispy.

Buffalo-ed bacon. This was probably inevitable. Bacon has been candied and covered in chocolate—why not give it the hot sauce treatment?

Buffalo deviled eggs. What is game day food if not nostalgic? Deviled eggs are a time-honored, party food favorite made over for football season with a dash of hot sauce and blue cheese. (Another addictive hot sauce cameos in these Sriracha and Wasabi deviled eggs.)
